Other over Charlotte, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was flying from Charlotte to Richmond, and had a window seat. It must have been 30 minutes-1 hour out of Charlotte, while flying over a very big lake that looked like a scar in the ground, when I saw it. It was a small white object. It was hovering, and the plane was passing over it. It wasn't a helicopter, and it was just bellow the clouds, so it couldn't have been a commercial drone. It almost looked like a shark. It was white, and had a small tail fin, which went into an oval shaped body with kind of a dark center. From the small oval shape, it looked like a sideways wing was jutting out (like if a plane was flipping left, and the wing was sticking out at an angle). It did not look very big, and I continued to look at it until our plane passed it entirely. It was moving, but very slowly, slower than cloud speed, and it was just sort of hovering there. I would have taken a picture, but my phone was dead, which is ironic timing. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, Yes it was around 8:15-8:30 AM. No one but me saw it (that I'm aware of). I was flying by myself and didn't really want to be that freak in the window seat who was trying to get people to look at the UFO haha. It's amazing to me how many reported sightings there are. Thanks,

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

My husband called to me to come out back last night (@9:45 PM) to 'see the light." What we saw was three (3) lights in a circle enclosed in a circle. My husband said he saw it 'move jerkily back and forth, and then stopped moving. When I got there, it had stopped moving and I saw those three lights, and then they disappeared and the object we saw was one bright light. At that point, we started guessing what it could be...Airplane was ruled out, it was not moving, no noise, it wasn't a copter, for the same reasons, it wasn't anything we could figure out, including a satellite. We both started taking photos with our cell phones and later I was back in the house, I used my finger to spread the light in the photos closer in. It was an amazing blob of light, and in each frame for each photo, they went from a point of light in the sky, to these amorphous blobs of light, very bright and pretty stationary in the sky.

My daughter and I were present for a baseball game. Weather was VFR and clear. No clouds. Aircraft departing Charlotte airport which was running a southern flow were passing overhead in a NE direction shortly after departure, presumable on a standard departure procedure. My daughter spotted a small dark spherical object. I was not able to initially locate the object and so joked that she was seeing things. After a few moments of scanning the area, I too located the object. The object appeared above aircraft paths in the area moving slowly in a NNE direction. Was observed for approx 5 minutes. The we were unable to locate further.

It was very quick and flashed away after 2 minutes. My cats went insane, making a lot of noise and tails puffed up.
